Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) will be the basis of the future surveillance system in the US. To achieve beneﬁt from ADS-B, aircraft have to be equipped with ADS-B avionics across all stakeholders. ...

Most air carriers operate under a system of prioritized goals including safety, customer service (on-time departures and arrivals) and operating economics. The flight operations department is responsible for the safe and ...

Contrails have been suggested as one of the main contributors to aviation-induced climate impact in recent years. To reduce the climate impact of contrails, mitigation policies such as taxation will be necessary in the ...

Surface congestion management has received increased
attention worldwide, largely due to its potential to mitigate operational inefficiencies and environmental impact. Most prior
efforts have focused on demonstrations ...

This report describes research exploring the relationship between structure and cognitive
complexity in Air Traffic Control (ATC). Current work on structure and cognitive
processes in ATC is reviewed leading to an ATC ...

In light of ongoing threats to the viability of traditional airline business models and the provision of air service in the United States, this paper studies the fundamental interdependence of the national economy and the ...

Building simple and accurate models of hub
airports can considerably help one understand airport dynamics, and may provide quantitative estimates of operational airport improvements. In this paper, three models are proposed ...

Air traffic controller cognitive processes are a limiting factor in providing safe
and efficient flow of traffic. Therefore, there has been work in understanding the
factors that drive controllers decision-making processes. ...

General aviation is an underutilized transportation mode, particularly when compared to
alternative modes such as the automobile and the commercial airlines. In this research, barriers to
the utility of general aviation ...

Autoflight systems in the current generation of aircraft have been implicated in several recent
incidents and accidents. A contributory aspect to these incidents may be the manner in which
aircraft transition between ...

This paper uses both world-wide and country-level analysis to describe the relationship
between air transportation and economic activity. In particular, we describe how economic,
infrastructural, institutional and ...

The objective of this paper is to understand the financial dynamics of the airline industry by identifying profit cycle periods of the industry and their driving factors. Assuming that the industry profit cycles could be ...

This paper discusses the financial dynamics of the airline industry by
identifying the fundamental cycle periods of profitability and their driving factors.
Assuming the industry profit cycles could be modeled as an ...

Major trends in the airline industry are analyzed to highlight key dynamics that govern the US domestic air transportation system. The hypothesis is that air travel supply and demand equilibriums, a reliance on outside ...

Air transportation usage and economic activity are interdependent. Air transportation provides employment
and enables certain economic activities which are dependent on the availability of air transportation services.
The ...

In order to improve safety in current air carrier operations, there is a growing emphasis on proactive safety management systems. These systems identify and mitigate risks before accidents occur. This thesis develops a new ...

Investment decisions in the development and production of new aircraft models is difficult because of the technical and market uncertainties associated with such a complex process. The accompanying risks can be
mitigated ...
